Liverpool FC won against Arsenal! And already top of the Premier League table! We have learned by now that Arne Slot does use the 1st half to assess the situation and is more cautious.
1st half, indeed, we weren’t doing great, but we didn’t give too many chances away. Quality was lacking from both sides, especially in the set pieces from Arsenal.
2nd half, from 60mins onwards, we turned the screws on and deservedly won the game.
Kerkez, we already knew he is suspect defensively and he does give me Moreno vibes, but thought he did better today.
VVD, took charge of the defence and nothing was getting past him.
Konate had a better game but still ain’t great, constantly missing headers but won the ground battles.
Thought Gomez did really well after coming on, except for one instance. If he were to stay, and keep fit, he did be useful this season.
Szoboszlai, Gerrard-esque free kick goal and a completely dominant performance.
Gravernberch, totally in control even after the yellow. Not yet the form of last season, but going in that direction.
Endo, took one for the team and did what he is brought on to do – shut the game down.
